Holistic user engagement across multiple communication channels

ABSTRACT

Disclosed are various embodiments facilitating a holistic engagement with a user across multiple communication channels of an organization or an enterprise based at least in part on a determined user intent. As users interact with various services associated with the organization through one or more communication channels, interaction data can be captured and stored. In various examples, the interaction data that is stored by the various services can be obtained and organized according to a predefined schema. The organized interaction data can be applied to a trained intent model that outputs a user intent based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. The predicted intent can be provided to the different services such that subsequent interactions between the user and the organization can be based at least in part on the intent in a consistent manner, regardless of the communication channel associated with the interaction.

BACKGROUND

Organizations use many different communication channels (e.g., phone, email, chat, direct mail, webpage, etc.) to engage with customers. Messaging across different channels can be inconsistent, with channels unable to coordinate or change their messaging based at least in part on feedback and other actions taken by individual customers. An example of this is when a customer attempting to resolve a specific issue or complaint over one communication channel (e.g., chat) must repeat or reenter their information when switching to a different channel (e.g., phone). Accordingly, the customer can become frustrated with the inconsistent messaging coming from the organization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed are various approaches for facilitating holistic engagement with a user across multiple communication channels of an organization or an enterprise based at least in part on a determined user intent. As users interact with various services associated with the organization or enterprise through one or more communication channels (e.g., web, phone, email, text, chat, payment system, etc.), interaction data can be captured, verified, and stored in batch and/or real-time data stores. In various examples, the interaction data that is stored by the various services can be obtained and organized according to a predefined schema. The organized interaction data can be applied to a trained intent model that recognizes a user intent based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. In various examples, the output of the trained intent model provides one or more likely user intents which is then provided to each service in the organization. Accordingly, subsequent interactions with the user can be based at least in part on the determined intent in a consistent and focused manner, regardless of the communication channel or service associated with the interaction.

According to various examples, the present disclosure leverages proprietary real-time and batch closed-loop data from previous user engagements and communications, across all available channels, to intelligently predict the current state, needs, and intent of the user. These intent predictions, and supporting data, are then made available to all user-facing systems in real-time. Accordingly, the present disclosure facilitates consistent user messaging across all communication channels and increases customer satisfaction via a holistic, organization-wide engagement experience across all communication channels. The system of the present disclosure anticipates likely user needs and allows our organization to respond to those needs as one entity, regardless of the communication channels used.

Turning now to FIG. 1 , shown is a drawing depicting an example scenario in which a user 103 interacts with various services 106 (e.g., 106 a, 106 b, 106 c) associated with an organization or enterprise. In various examples, users 103 can initiate interactions with different services 106 associated with the organization based at least in part on what a given service 106 can provide to the user 103. In other examples, the different services 106 can initiate engagement with a user in order to notify the user 103 of information associated with the organization and/or the user 103. In various examples, user interactions with the different services 106 can be conducted over different types of communication channels (e.g., phone, web, text, email, direct mail, etc.). For example, the services 106 illustrated in FIG. 1 correspond to a web service, a chat service, and a phone service. However, the services 106 can include a web service, a chat service, a phone service, an email service, a text service, a mail service, or other type of service.

According to various examples of the present disclosure, the services 106 can provide consistent messaging and interaction with the user 103 based at least in part on an understanding of a user intent 109 that is determined by an intent engine 112 and distributed to all of the services 106. The intent engine 112 of the present disclosure is configured to collect and organize interaction history data 116 (FIG. 2 ) associated with the user 103 and apply the interaction history data 116 to a trained intent model 118 (FIG. 2 ). In various examples, an output of the trained intent model 118 can include a prediction of one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the given user based at least in part on an analysis of the interaction history data 116. Upon determining a user intent 109, the intent engine 112 can transmit the user intent 109 to each associated service 106 so that each service 106 is aware of a user’s predicted intent or state.

Each of the services 106 associated with an organization or enterprise can be configured to allow a user 103 to obtain information and/or access data associated with the organization. For example, the organization associated with the services 106 of FIG. 1 can correspond to a credit card company that has issued a payment account to the user 103. In this example, the user 103 can interact with a first service 106 a to review transaction history and make payments associated with his or her payment account. Similarly, the user 103 can interact with a second service 106 b or a third service 106 c with regard to questions about his or her payment account.

In the example of FIG. 1 , the user 103 initiates an interactive session with a first service 106 a via a client device 121 to review account information associated with his or her account. In various examples, the first service 106 a can generate and provide a user interface 124 a that can be rendered on the client device 121. The user interface 124 a of FIG. 1 that is provided by the first service 106 a and rendered on the client device 121 includes transaction data associated with payment transaction using a payment instrument provided by the organization. In various examples, the user 103 can interact with the user interface 124 to review transaction data and details associated with the user’s transaction history.

According to various examples, interaction history data 116 (e.g., clicks, hovers, time spent reviewing a webpage, etc.) associated with the interaction session can be captured, verified, and stored for both batch and/or real-time consumption. For example, the first service 106 a can capture data associated with any interaction by the user with the first service 106 a and store the interaction history data 116 in batch data stores and/or real-time data stores. For batch consumption, the interaction history data 116 can be included in a streaming system of records captured by the first service 106 a and stored in a batch data store. Similarly, for real-time consumption, the interaction history data 116 can be streamed in real-time and stored in a low-latency cache where it can be accessed in real-time or near real-time by other services 106 via application programming interface (API) calls. In some examples, the interaction history data 116 is stored in one or more data stores associated with a given service 106. In other examples, the interaction history data 116 is stored in one or more data stores associated with the organization or enterprise. In this example, the interaction history data 116 collected from multiple services 106 can be stored in one or more centralized data stores.

In the example of FIG. 1 , assume that the user 103 has become concerned about a particular transaction charge during his or her interactive session with the first service 106 a and that the user 103 is unable to obtain the information needed to resolve the issue via his or her interactions with the first service 106 a. For example, the user 103 may wish to dispute a transaction charge and is unsure how to dispute the charge via interactions with the user interface 124. As such, the user 103 can initiate an interaction with the second service 106 b to try and obtain the information from the second service 106 b. In the example of FIG. 1 , the second service 106 b corresponds to a chat service which allows the user to engage in a chat communication (e.g., automated chat, human chat, etc.) with the organization. In some examples, the user 103 can initiate the interaction with the second service 106 b via a selection of the chat component 127 included in user interface 124 a.

According to various examples, upon receiving a request to initiate an interactive session with the second service 106 b by the user 103 via the client device 121, the second service 106 b can identify the user 103 and contact the intent engine 112 using an application programming interface (API) call in order to request a user intent associated with the user 103 requesting the interactive session with the second service 106 b.

According to various examples, upon receiving a request for a user intent 109 from the second service 106, the intent engine 112 can collect interaction history data 116 from the different services 106 of the organization, including the interaction history data 116 collected by the first service 106 a during the user’s interaction with the first service 106 a. Upon collecting the interaction data, the intent engine 112 can organize the interaction data according to a predefined schema. In some examples, the intent engine 112 can translate interaction history data 116 that is in a first type of format into a second type of format that is required to comply with a format associated with a predefined schema. For example, data collected from a phone call may be stored in a first type of format, but must be translated into a different type of format to be understood by the intent model 118. In various examples, the intent engine 112 can apply one or more data conversion libraries or programs to translate the data from a first type of format into a second type of format.

Upon collecting and organizing the interaction history data 116, the intent engine 112 can apply the organized interaction history data 116 as one or more inputs into to the intent model 118 which is trained to recognize a user intent 109 based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. The output of the intent model 118 can include one or more predicted user intents 109, and the intent engine 112 can provide the predicted user intents 109 to the different services 106 to allow the messaging and interactions with a given user 103 to be consistent across all services 106 and communication channels.

Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1 , the service 106 b can generate a chat user interface 124 b that includes an indication of the user’s intent based at least in part on prior interaction history data 116. Based on at least the user’s interactions with the first service 106 a, the intent engine 112 can predict that the user is concerned about a particular transaction charge. As such, the second service 106 b can generate the content of a chat user interface 124 b to include an indication that the second service 106 b is aware of why the user 103 is engaging with the second service 106 b without the user 103 having to explain his or her reasoning for interacting with the second service 106 b. As the user 103 interacts with the second service 106 b, the second service 106 b collects and stores the interaction history data 116 associated with the user’s interaction for batch and real-time consumption. For example, the interaction history data 116 can include questions and/or comments that the user 103 entered to engage in with the chat conversation.

Similarly, if the second service 106 b is unable to help the user 103 with his or her issue, the user 103 may choose to engage with a third service 106 c. In FIG. 1 , the third service 106 c corresponds to a phone service which allows the user 103 to engage in a telephone conversation with a representative 130. Similarly to the interactive session between the user 103 and the second service 106 b, when the user 103 engages in an interactive session with the third service 106 c, the third service 106 c can send a request to the intent engine 112 to determine why the user 103 is engaging with the third service 106 c without the user 103 having to explain.

Based on at least the user’s interactions with the first service 106 a and the second service 106 b, the intent engine 112 is able to predict that the user is concerned about a particular transaction charge. As such, the third service 106 c is able to notify the representative 130 of the predicted reason that the user is calling. As shown in FIG. 1 , the representative is able to start the call with the user 103 by asking the user 103 if he or she is calling to dispute a charge. As illustrated in the example of FIG. 1 , the present disclosure allows an organization to carry out sophisticated exchanges with users 103 across multiple communication channels while consistently acknowledging both the user actions and the expected user intent 109.

In the following discussion, a general description of the system and its components is provided, followed by a discussion of the operation of the same. Although the following discussion provides illustrative examples of the operation of various components of the present disclosure, the use of the following illustrative examples does not exclude other implementations that are consistent with the principals disclosed by the following illustrative examples.

With reference to FIG. 2 , shown is a network environment 200 according to various embodiments. The network environment 200 can include a computing environment 203 and a client device 121, which can be in data communication with each other via a network 206. The network 206 can include wide area networks (WANs), local area networks (LANs), personal area networks (PANs), or a combination thereof. These networks can include wired or wireless components or a combination thereof. Wired networks can include Ethernet networks, cable networks, fiber optic networks, and telephone networks such as dial-up, digital subscriber line (DSL), and integrated services digital network (ISDN) networks. Wireless networks can include cellular networks, satellite networks, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless networks (i.e., WI-FI^(®)), BLUETOOTH^(®) networks, microwave transmission networks, as well as other networks relying on radio broadcasts. The network 206 can also include a combination of two or more networks 206. Examples of networks 206 can include the Internet, intranets, extranets, virtual private networks (VPNs), and similar networks.

The computing environment 203 can include one or more computing devices that include a processor, a memory, and/or a network interface. For example, the computing devices can be configured to perform computations on behalf of other computing devices or applications. As another example, such computing devices can host and/or provide content to other computing devices in response to requests for content.

Moreover, the computing environment 203 can employ a plurality of computing devices that can be arranged in one or more server banks or computer banks or other arrangements. Such computing devices can be located in a single installation or can be distributed among many different geographical locations. For example, the computing environment 203 can include a plurality of computing devices that together can include a hosted computing resource, a grid computing resource or any other distributed computing arrangement. In some cases, the computing environment 203 can correspond to an elastic computing resource where the allotted capacity of processing, network, storage, or other computing-related resources can vary over time.

Various applications or other functionality can be executed in the computing environment 203. The components executed on the computing environment 203 include services 106, an intent engine 112, and other applications, services, processes, systems, engines, or functionality not discussed in detail herein.

The services 106 can be executed to interact with users 103 associated with client devices 121 to meet the needs of an organization and/or the users 103. According to various examples, different services 106 can be configured to communicate with users 103 or client devices 121 of users 103 across multiple types of communication channels. For example, the services 106 may include a chat service, a web service, an email service, a direct mail service, a telephone service, and/or other type of service that can engage or otherwise interact with a user 103 to meet the needs of the organization and/or user 103. The different types of communication channels can include phone calls, video conferencing, emails, text messaging, online messaging (e.g., chat), social media messaging, direct mail, or other types of communication channels. According to various examples, a service 106 can be executed to initiate and/or engage with a user 103 with respect to the needs of the given organization.

According to various examples, the services 106 are configured to capture, verify, and store any interaction history data 116 associated with a given interaction with a user. For example, a chat service 106 can capture any chats exchanged between the user and the chat service 106 or chat service representative. In addition, the chat service 106 can capture time logs associated with the chat exchange. In another example, a web service 106 can be configured to generate and provide user interfaces 124 comprising content associated with the organization and/or user 103. In the example of a credit card organization, the content may include payment account data, transaction account data, payment instrument offerings, and/or other type of data. As a user 103 interacts with the content provided via the user interface(s) 124, the web service 106 can capture the interaction history data 116 (e.g., clicks, hovers, etc.) associated with the user’s 103 interaction with the content.

In various examples, the services 106 are executed to store the captured interaction history data 116 in a data store. The captured interaction history data 116 can be stored in at least one of a batch data store or a real-time data store to allow the interaction history data 116 to be accessible in batch and/or real-time consumption. In various examples, the interaction history data 116 is stored in association with the given service 106. In other examples, the interaction history data 116 that is captured is stored in association with one or more centralized data stores associated with the organization or enterprise.

In various examples, a service 106 can be executed to send a request to the intent engine 112 to determine one or more likely user intents 109 or user states. This request can be sent in response to a user 103 initiating interaction with the service 106 or in response to the service 106 wanting to initiate an interaction with the user 103. In various examples, the request to the intent engine 112 is in the form of an API request. In various examples, the request includes a user identifier to allow the intent engine 112 the ability to identify the user 103 or user account associated with the intent request. The intent engine 112 returns one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103 based at least in part on an analysis of interaction history data 116 of the user. In various examples, the intent engine 112 applies the interaction history data 116 to a trained intent model that recognizes one or more user intents 109 based at least in part on observations of other users 103 with similar histories. In various examples, the intent engine 112 returns an identification of at least one user intent 109. In some examples, the intent engine 112 returns a ranked listing of user intents 109, where the user intents 109 are ranked according to a likelihood that the predicted user intent 109 is an actual user intent.

In various examples, the service 106 can determine a message to present to the user 103 in response to the one or more user intents 109 provided from the intent engine 112. For example, a chat service 106 may determine to start a chat session with a user 103 by generating a chat user interface 124 with a question directed based at least in part on the user intent 109. As illustrated in the example of FIG. 1 , the user intent 109 may indicate that the user 103 is initiating contact with the service 106 because the user 103 wants to dispute a charge. As such, the service 106 can generate a user interface 124 that includes an inquiry into whether the user 103 is wanting to dispute a charge. In some examples, the service 106 can determine the message based at least in part on a predefined listing of messages that correspond to intents 109 that can be generated by the intent model 118. The service 106 can cause the user interface 124 to be rendered on the client device 121. In one or more examples, the service 106 can transmit user interface code that is executable by the client device 121 to generate and render the user interface 124 on the client device 121. In other examples, service 106 can transmit the generated user interface 124 to the client device 121 for rendering.

In some examples, a service 106 can determine a user state based at least in part on a user intent 109 and determine a type of outreach to provide to the user 103. In this example, a service 106 can initiate a communication with a user 103 and can determine a type of outreach to provide to the user 103 based at least in part on the user intent 109 and/or a user state. For example, an email service 106 can have a scheduled outreach for users 103 associated with the organization. The scheduled outreach can include sending a batch of emails to the users 103 that correspond to different features associated with the organization. In some examples, a service 106 can determine that a particular user 103 may not read emails on a particular day of the week based at least in part on the user intent 109. As such, the service 106 can modify the scheduled outreach for the user 103 so that the emails are sent to the user 103 on a different day. In other examples, the scheduled outreach can be modified by removing one or more messages and/or content included in the messages based at least in part on knowledge of a user intent 109 and/or user state.

The intent engine 112 can be executed to determine a user intent 109 associated with a given user 103. In various examples, a service 106 can send a request to the intent engine 112 requesting an identification of one or more user intents 109 associated with a given user 103. In various examples, the request includes an identification of the user 103. The identification can include a user identifier, a payment account number, a client device identifier, and/or other type of identifier that the intent engine 112 can use to identify the user 103.

In various examples, the intent engine 112 can collect interaction history data 116 associated with the identified user. In various examples, the intent engine 112 can collect the interaction history data 116 by sending requests to obtain the user interaction history data 116 corresponding to the different services 106. In various examples, the requests can include API requests to the batch data store(s) and the real-time data store(s) associated with the services 106 that request the interaction history data 116 associated with the user 103. In various examples, the requested interaction history data 116 can include transaction data history, chat interaction history, call interaction history, payment interaction history, web interaction history, and/or other types of interaction data. In various examples, the obtained interaction history data 116 can include data associated with the user over a predefined period of time (e.g., 30 days). In other examples, the obtained interaction history data 116 can be limited by a number of records included in the interaction history data 116. For example, the number of transaction records received may be limited by a predefined number (e.g., up to 20 transactions).

In various examples, the intent engine 112 can analyze the obtained interaction history data 116 and organize the interaction history data 116 into a predefined schema. For example, the predefined schema may define how the data is to be organized based at least in part on the type of data, a format of data, what is included in the data, and/or other factors. In some examples, the intent engine 112 can translate interaction history data 116 from a first type of data format into a second type of data format. For example, the data format for a chat history may differ from the data format for a web interaction. As such, the intent engine 112 can apply the conversion rules 212 to format the chat history data and/or the web interaction data into a consistent format, as defined by the conversion rules 212. In various examples, the interaction history data 116 that is organized in the predefined schema is provided as an input to a trained intent model 118.

In various examples, the intent model 118 comprises a deep neural network model that receives the organized interaction history data 116 associated with a user 103 (e.g., user emails and other messages they have received, recent actions on their account (e.g., transactions they’ve made, declined transactions, change in credit limit, fraud reports), web-based interactions, and previous interactions with representatives, etc.) as an input. In various examples, this organized interaction history data 116 is provided to the intent model 118 as time series data. The intent model 118 is trained to recognize user intent 109 based at least in part on observations of what other user with similar histories did next or what was done on their behalf.

In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103. In various examples, the intent model 118 provides the user intent 109 to the requesting service 106 as well as to the other services 106 associated with the organization or enterprise. As such, the messaging across the different services 106, and communication channels, is consistent.

Also, various data is stored in a data store 215 that is accessible to the computing environment 203. The data store 215 can be representative of a plurality of data stores 215, which can include relational databases or non-relational databases such as object-oriented databases, hierarchical databases, hash tables or similar key-value data stores, as well as other data storage applications or data structures. Moreover, combinations of these databases, data storage applications, and/or data structures may be used together to provide a single, logical, data store. The data stored in the data store 215 is associated with the operation of the various applications or functional entities described below. This data can include user data 218, the intent model 118, conversion rules 212, network content data 221, and potentially other data.

The user data 218 corresponds to information related to users 103 having accounts with the organization or enterprise associated with the computing environment 203. For example, the user data can correspond to information related to individuals who have been issued payment accounts by an issuer associated with the issuer system. A payment account can represent any financial account or agreement that a customer can use as a source of funds for payments. Payment accounts can include both credit accounts or facilities and financial deposit accounts that provide the owner with on demand access to funds stored in or associated with the payment account. In some instances, a payment account can allow a user to have frequent and/or immediate access to funds. In these instances, payment accounts can also be referred to as demand deposit accounts, which can be accessed in a variety of ways, such as the use of debit cards, checks, or electronic transfers (e.g., wire transfer, automated clearing house (ACH) transfer, etc.). Examples of payment accounts include charge or charge card accounts, credit or credit card accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, demand accounts, deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts, etc.

The user data 218 may include interaction history data 116, account address(es), payment instrument data, authentication information, and/or other data associated with a user 103 or user account. The interaction history data 116 may include information specific to a user account such as, for example, a transaction history (including purchase frequency, purchase cadence, purchase recency, transaction disputes, declined transactions, etc.), a browsing history, a viewing history, a chat history, a messaging history, an account history (e.g., credit limits, fraud reports, etc.), a telephone history, a search history, and/or other information that reflects a prior interaction by the user account with the different services 106 included in the computing environment 203.

The intent model 118 includes, for example, a logistic regression classifier, a random forest classifier, a decision tree classifier, an XGBoost classifier, a multilayer perceptron classifier, a recurrent neural network, a feed-forward neural network, a label-specific attention network, and/or any other type of trained model as can be appreciated. According to various examples, the intent model 118 is trained interaction history data 116 associated with a plurality of users 103 to learn how to recognize a user intent 109 based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with a given user 103. In some examples, the output incudes a ranked listing of likely user intents 109.

The conversion rules 212 include rules, models, and/or configuration data for the various algorithms or approaches employed by the intent engine 112 in determining how to translate or otherwise convert interaction history data 116 that is in a first type of format into a second type of format that is suitable for analysis by the intent model 118.

The network content data 221 may include various data employed by the services 106 in generating user interfaces 124, and/or other network pages. The network content data 221 may include hypertext markup language (HTML), extensible markup language (XML), cascading style sheets (CSS), images, text, audio, video, templates, and/or other data.

The client device 121 is representative of a plurality of client devices that can be coupled to the network 206. The client device 121 can include a processor-based system such as a computer system. Such a computer system can be embodied in the form of a personal computer (e.g., a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or similar device), a mobile computing device (e.g., personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, smartphones, web pads, tablet computer systems, music players, portable game consoles, electronic book readers, and similar devices), media playback devices (e.g., media streaming devices, BluRay^(®) players, digital video disc (DVD) players, set-top boxes, and similar devices), a videogame console, or other devices with like capability. The client device 121 can include one or more displays 224, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), gas plasma-based flat panel displays, organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, electrophoretic ink (“E-ink”) displays, projectors, or other types of display devices. In some instances, the display 224 can be a component of the client device 121 or can be connected to the client device 121 through a wired or wireless connection.

The client device 121 can be configured to execute various applications such as a client application 227 or other applications. The client application 227 can be executed in a client device 121 to access network content served up by the computing environment 203 or other servers, thereby rendering a user interface 124 on the display 224. To this end, the client application 227 can include a browser, a dedicated application, or other executable, and the user interface 124 can include a network page, an application screen, or other user mechanism for obtaining user input. The client device 121 can be configured to execute applications beyond the client application 227 such as email applications, social networking applications, word processors, spreadsheets, or other applications.

Next, a general description of the operation of the various components of the network environment 200 is provided with reference to FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4 . To begin, FIGS. 3A-3B illustrate a sequence diagram 300 (e.g., 300 a, 300 b) that provide an example of the operation of the components of the network environment 200. It is understood that the sequence diagram 300 of FIGS. 3A and 3B provides merely an example of the many different types of functional arrangements that can be employed to implement the operation of the depicted portion of the network environment 200. As an alternative, the sequence diagram 300 of FIGS. 3A-3B can be viewed as depicting an example of elements of a method implemented within the network environment 200. In particular, the sequence diagram 300 of FIGS. 3A-3B depicts the functionality associated with determining a user intent 109 based at least in part on user interaction history data 116 to provide a user with consistent messaging and interactions across multiple services 106, and communication channels, in accordance to various embodiments.

Beginning with block 303, a client application 227 can initiate an interactive session with a first service 106 a via a first communication channel. Using the example of FIG. 1 , the first service 106 a can correspond to a web service that is configured to generated and produce content associated with the organization and/or user 103 or user account. It should be noted that designating the first service 106 a as a web service is merely for illustrative purposes, and that the first service 106 a being interacted with by the client application 227 can correspond to any sort of service 106 (e.g., chat service, email service, web service, text service, mail service, etc.) that can be used to address the needs of the organization and/or user 103 or user account.

In various examples, the client application 227 can include an identification of the user with a request to initiate an interactive session with the first service 106 a. For example, the initiation of an interactive session can be in response to a user providing authenticating credentials that may be required to authenticate a user 103 and provide access to user data. In another examples, the client application 227 can provide other types of identifying data including a client device identifier, a payment account identifier, a user identifier, and/or other type of identifier.

At block 306, the first service 106 a generates and sends a request to the intent engine 112 requesting for a user intent(s) 109 of the user 103. In various examples, the request to the intent engine 112 is sent in response to the client application 227 initiating the interactive session with the first service 106 a. In various examples, the request can include a user identifier that the intent engine 112 can use to identify the user 103 associated with the request. In various examples, the request comprises an API request.

At block 309, the intent engine 112 collects the interaction history data 116 associated with the user 103. In various examples, the interaction history data 116 comprises interaction data corresponding to interactions by the user 103 or user account with one or more of the services 106 associated with the organization or enterprise associated with the computing environment 203. The interaction history data 116 can include data associated with interactions across multiple communication channels. In various examples, the intent engine 112 collects the interaction history data 116 by generating and sending requests to various data stores associated with the services 106. The data stores can include batch data stores and/or real-time data stores (e.g., low latency caches). In some examples, the data stores correspond to data store 215. In other examples, the data stores are separate from data store 215. In various examples, the requests can correspond to API requests that indicate a type of data to obtain for a given user 103. In some examples, the request can indicate limitations associated with the interaction data. For example, a limitation can include a maximum or minimum timeline of days associated with the interactions (e.g., up to 30 days), a maximum or minimum number of interaction records to include (e.g., up to 20 records), and/or other types of limitations. In response to the API requests, the intent engine 112 can be provided with the requested interaction history data 116 corresponding to user interactions with different services 106 across different communication channels.

At block 312, the intent engine 112 organizes the interaction history data 116. In various examples, the intent engine 112 organizes the interaction history data 116 according to a predefined schema that is acceptable for use an input to the intent model 118. For example, the predefined schema may define how the data is to be organized based at least in part on the type of data, a format of data, what is included in the data, and/or other factors. In some examples, the intent engine 112 can translate at least a portion of the interaction history data 116 from a first type of data format into a second type of data format. For example, the data format for a chat history may differ from the data format for a web interaction. As such, the intent engine 112 can apply the conversion rules 212 to format the chat history data and/or the web interaction data into a consistent format, as defined by the conversion rules 212.

At block 318, the intent engine 112 applies the organized interaction history data 116 as an input to the intent model 118. The intent model 118 comprises a deep neural network model that receives the organized interaction history data 116 associated with a user 103 as an input. The intent model 118 is trained to recognize user intent 109 based at least in part on observations of what other user with similar histories did next or what was done on their behalf. In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103.

At block 321, the intent engine 112 determines the user intent 109. In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103. As such, the intent engine 112 can determine the user intent 109 based at least in part on the output of the intent model 118. In some examples, the intent model 118 provides a ranked listing of likely intents 109, where the user intents 109 are ranked according to a likelihood that the predicted user intent 109 is an actual user intent. In some examples, the intent engine 112 determines the user intent 109 based at least in part on a highest ranked user intent included in the model output. In other examples, the user intent 109 includes the ranked listing of user intents 109.

At block 324, the intent engine 112 notifies the services 106, including the first service 106 a of the user intent 109. For example, the intent engine 112 can respond to the API request of the first service 106 a with the user intent 109. In other examples, the intent engine 112 can communicate with the other services 106 across a network to notify the other services 106 of the intent 109.

At block 327, the first service 106 a performs an action based at least in part on the user intent 109. For example, the first service 106 a can generate a user interface 124 that includes an indication of the determined intent 109. In some examples, the first service 106 a may redirect the user 103 to a webpage that includes content addressing the user intent 109. For example, if the first service 106 a determines that the user intent 109 is to make a payment, the first service 106 a may generate a user interface 124 with content that can facilitate payment by the user 103. In some examples, the first service 106 a can generate a pop-up box or other type of user interface component that asks the user a question based at least in part on the user intent. For example, the first service 106 a can generate a pop-up box that includes one or more selectable components that upon selection can redirect the user to a given webpage. In this example, the selectable components can be based at least in part on the user intent(s) 109 identified by the intent engine 112.

In various examples, the service 106 can cause the user interface 124 and/or user interface components to be rendered on the client device 121. In one or more examples, the service 106 can transmit user interface code that is executable by the client device 121 to generate and render the user interface 124 on the client device 121. In other examples, service 106 can transmit the generated user interface 124 to the client device 121 for rendering.

At block 330, the first service 106 a collects interaction history data 116 associated with the user interactions with the first service 106 a. In the example of where the first service 106 a corresponds to a web service, the collected data can correspond to interactions by the user 103 with the content provided by the web service. In various examples, the first service 106 a collects the interaction history data 116 (e.g., clicks, hovers, time spent reviewing a webpage, payments, purchases, browsing history, etc.) and stores the collected data for both batch and real-time consumption. For example, the first service 106 a can capture data associated with any interaction by the user with the first service 106 a and store the interaction history data 116 in batch data stores and/or real-time data stores.

For batch consumption, the interaction history data 116 can be included in a streaming system of records captured by the first service 106 a and stored in a batch data store. Similarly, for real-time consumption, the interaction history data 116 can be streamed in real-time and stored in a low-latency cache where it can be accessed in real-time or near real-time by other services 106 via application programming interface (API) calls. In some examples, the interaction history data 116 is stored in one or more data stores associated with a given service 106. In other examples, the interaction history data 116 is stored in one or more data stores associated with the organization or enterprise. In this example, the interaction history data 116 collected from multiple services 106 can be stored in one or more centralized data stores.

At block 333, the client application 227 can end the interactive session with the first service 106 a. For example, if the first service 106 a corresponds to a web service, the client application 227 can end the interactive session with the web service by terminating the connection with the web service. In the example of the first service 106 a corresponding to a telephone service, the interactive session can be terminated by hanging up the phone, thereby disconnecting with the telephone service. In some examples, the client application 227 ends the interactive session because the user 103 has obtained the information and/or perform a task that he or she needed. In other examples, the interactive session is ended because the user 103 wants to use a different service 106 to obtain the information or perform the task that he or she needed.

At block 336, the client application 227 initiates an interactive session with a second service 106 b via a second communication channel. Using the example of FIG. 1 , the second service 106 b can correspond to a chat service that is configured to engage with a chat conversation with the user 103 via the client application 227. It should be noted that the second service 106 b as a chat service is merely for illustrative purposes, and that the second service 106 a being interacted with by the client application 227 can correspond to any sort of service 106 that can be used to address the needs of the organization and/or user 103 or user account. In various examples, the client application 227 can include an identification of the user with a request to initiate an interactive session with the second service 106 b.

At block 339, the second service 106 b determines a user intent 109. In some examples, the user intent 109 is based at least in part on the user intent 109 that is provided by the intent engine 112 at block 324. In other examples, the second service 106 b can request the user intent 109 from the intent engine 112, as discussed in block 306, and the intent engine 112 can determine the user intent 109 in accordance to the discussion of blocks 309-324, while considering the interaction history data 116 collected at block 330.

At block 341, the second service 106 b performs an action based at least in part on the user intent 109. For example, the second service 106 b can generate a user interface 124 that includes an indication of the determined intent 109. In the example of the second service 106 b corresponding to a chat service, the second service 106 b can generate a chat user interface 124 b (FIG. 1 ) that includes an indication of the likely user intent 109. In other examples, the second service 106 b may redirect the user 103 to a webpage that addresses the issue associated with the user intent 109. For example, if the second service 106 b determines that the user intent 109 is to make a payment, the second service 106 b may generate a user interface 124 with content that can facilitate payment by the user 103. In some examples, the second service 106 can generate a pop-up box or other type of user interface component that asks the user a question based at least in part on the user intent 109.

In various examples, the second service 106 b can cause the user interface 124 and/or user interface components to be rendered on the client device 121. In one or more examples, the second service 106 b can transmit user interface code that is executable by the client device 121 to generate and render the user interface 124 on the client device 121. In other examples, the second service 106 b can transmit the generated user interface 124 to the client device 121 for rendering.

In examples where the second service 106 b corresponds to a phone service, the second service 106 b can notify a call representative 130 of the user intent 109 and the call representative can engage with the user 103 based at least in part on the determined user intent 109. Thereafter, this portion of the process proceeds to completion.

Turning now to FIG. 4 , shown is a sequence diagram 400 that provides an example of the operation of the components of the network environment 200. It is understood that the sequence diagram 400 of FIG. 4 provides merely an example of the many different types of functional arrangements that can be employed to implement the operation of the depicted portion of the network environment 200. As an alternative, the sequence diagram 400 of FIG. 4 can be viewed as depicting an example of elements of a method implemented within the network environment 200. In particular, the sequence diagram 400 of FIG. 4 depicts the functionality associated with determining how to engage with a user 103 based at least in part on a user intent 109 in accordance to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Beginning with block 403, the service 106 can identify a user 103 associated with a scheduled outreach. A scheduled outreach can correspond to an organization or enterprise reaching out to a user 103 with respect to a feature and/or need of the organization. In various examples, a scheduled outreach can include calling the user 103, sending direct mail to the user 103, sending one or more messages (e.g., email, text message, etc.) to the user 103, generating user interfaces 124 including content associated with the scheduled outreach to present to the user 103, and/or other types of outreach. In various examples, a user associated with a scheduled outreach can have certain characteristics that qualify a user for a given outreach. For example, a user 103 who has recently created a user account with the organization can be included in a scheduled outreach that welcomes new account holders. Similarly, a user 103 who has had a user account with the organization for a predefined period of time can be included in a scheduled outreach for loyal account holders. In other examples, a scheduled outreach can correspond to users 103 who are scheduled to receive their monthly payment account bills. In various examples, the user 103 associated with the scheduled outreach can be identified according to characteristics of the user 103 included in the user data 218 matching characteristics of the scheduled outreach. In other examples, the scheduled outreach can include a list of one or more users 103 associated with the scheduled outreach and the service 106 can identify the user based at least in part on the list of users 103.

At block 406, the service 106 generates and sends a request to the intent engine 112 requesting for a user intent(s) 109 of the user 103. In various examples, the request to the intent engine 112 is sent in response to the service 106 identifying the user 103 associated with a scheduled outreach. In various examples, the request can include a user identifier that the intent engine 112 can use to identify the user 103 associated with the request. In various examples, the request comprises an API request.

At block 409, the intent engine 112 collects the interaction history data 116 associated with the user 103. In various examples, the interaction history data 116 comprises interaction data corresponding to interactions by the user 103 or user account with one or more of the services 106 associated with the organization or enterprise associated with the computing environment 203. The interaction history data 116 can include data associated with interactions across multiple communication channels. In various examples, the intent engine 112 collects the interaction history data 116 by generating and sending requests to various data stores associated with the services 106. The data stores can include batch data stores and/or real-time data stores (e.g., low latency caches). In some examples, the data stores correspond to data store 215. In other examples, the data stores are separate data stores. In various examples, the requests can correspond to API requests that indicate a type of data to obtain for a given user 103. In some examples, the request can indicate limitations associated with the interaction data. For example, a limitation can include a maximum or minimum timeline of days associated with the interactions (e.g., up to 30 days), a maximum or minimum number of interaction records to include (e.g., up to 20 records), and/or other types of limitations. In response to the API requests, the intent engine 112 can be provided with the requested interaction history data 116 corresponding to user interactions with different services 106 across different communication channels.

At block 412, the intent engine 112 organizes the interaction history data 116. In various examples, the intent engine 112 organizes the interaction history data 116 according to a predefined schema that is acceptable for use an input to the intent model 118. For example, the predefined schema may define how the data is to be organized based at least in part on the type of data, a format of data, what is included in the data, and/or other factors. In some examples, the intent engine 112 can translate at least a portion of the interaction history data 116 from a first type of data format into a second type of data format. For example, the data format for a chat history may differ from the data format for a web interaction. As such, the intent engine 112 can apply the conversion rules 212 to format the chat history data and/or the web interaction data into a consistent format, as defined by the conversion rules 212.

At block 415 the intent engine 112 applies the organized interaction history data 116 as an input to the intent model 118. The intent model 118 comprises a deep neural network model that receives the organized interaction history data 116 associated with a user 103 as an input. The intent model 118 is trained to recognize user intent 109 based at least in part on observations of what other user with similar histories did next or what was done on their behalf. In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103.

At block 418, the intent engine 112 determines the user intent 109. In various examples, the output of the intent model 118 includes one or more likely user intents 109 associated with the user 103. As such, the intent engine 112 can determine the user intent 109 based at least in part on the output of the intent model 118. In some examples, the intent model 118 provides a ranked listing of likely intents 109, where the user intents 109 are ranked according to a likelihood that the predicted user intent 109 is an actual user intent. In some examples, the intent engine 112 determines the user intent 109 based at least in part on a highest ranked user intent included in the model output. In other examples, the user intent 109 includes the ranked listing of user intents 109.

At block 421, the intent engine 112 notifies the services 106 in the organization, including the requesting service 106 of the user intent 109. For example, the intent engine 112 can respond to the API request of the requesting service 106 with the user intent 109. In other examples, the intent engine 112 can communicate with the other services 106 across a network to notify the other services 106 of the intent 109.

At block 424, the service 106 receives the user intent 109 and modifies the scheduled outreach based at least in part on the user intent 109. Modifying the scheduled outreach can include modifying the content associated with the scheduled outreach, modifying the date or time of the scheduled outreach, removing a message associated with the scheduled outreach, adding a message associated with the scheduled outreach, and/or other type of modification. For example, if the scheduled outreach is related to a welcoming outreach that welcomes new account holders to the organization and includes one or more messages that describe tasks that should be completed by the user 103, and the user intent 109 indicates that the user has already completed at least one of the tasks, the scheduled outreach can be modified to remove the tasks that have already been completed by the user.

At block 427, the service 106 performs the modified scheduled outreach. In the example of the scheduled outreach comprising sending messages to the user 103, the service 106 can generate the messages associated with the modified scheduled outreach and transmit the messages to the client application 227. If the scheduled outreach corresponds to content provided via one or more user interfaces 124, the service 106 can generate the one or more user interfaces 124 based at least in part on the modified scheduled outreach. The service 106 can then cause the user interface(s) 124 to be rendered on the client device 121. In one or more examples, the service 106 can transmit user interface code that is executable by the client device 121 to generate and render the user interface(s) 124 on the client device 121. In other examples, service 106 can transmit the generated user interface(s) 124 to the client device 121 for rendering. Thereafter, this portion of the process proceeds to completion.

A number of software components previously discussed are stored in the memory of the respective computing devices and are executable by the processor of the respective computing devices.
